Hi, I hope this is not too OT, but it relates to finance.
I intend to rent a flat in London either directly from a landlord or via an agency. I am in my early twenties and intend to get a job in London, but have not done so yet.
Would I have a problem renting a flat. My father is willing to put himself down as my guarantor, and we both have decent credit records.
In other words, would the agency demand that I should be employed (that is having regular income coming in) or would my father being a guarantor negate this?
I realise that I could just claim to be a student, hence not having any income, but then of course they would assume I wouldn't be paying council tax, which could result in problems later on down the line.
Thanks.
